I thought Andrew Young was in prison.

With their filing of a lawsuit because they are racially offended, Korean-American grocers become fully assimilated at last.

""But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us, selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables," Young said. "And they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores." "

Of course whites are taken to a back room where they can get fresh meat and produce. Blacks will just have to be satisfied with the spoiled and wilted stuff

Here is the problem, they will probably have civil servants on the jury so they are basically screwed unless they settle.

He apologized later.

Apology NOT ACCEPTED...

Maybe these other ethnic groups own these businesses because they are willing to put their lives and fortunes at risk to make a moderate profit, serving an ungrateful community that probably would starve if they weren't there to provide a local service that no one else would do.

I wonder how many countless legal immigrants have died in convenience store/gas station robberies at the hands of those who complain about the price and quality of the products that they provide?

Walmart ain't going to put up with that cr@p!

The LA riots were stopped by the Koreans with weapons and the US Post Office by forcing the rioters to line up at the post offices to collect their welfare checks.

It's just not right...The blacks should have their opportunity to shaft the neighborhoods as well...

[BIGZ]

Just doing jobs that Blacks won,t do.

The suit, filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, also names the Wal-Mart store chain and seeks at least $7.5 million in damages.

This, of course, is the point. I expect Wal-Mart will pay them off.

This is nucking futs.

Andrew Young is a pos, BUT he was 100% correct in his comment. In Chicago there has been numerous investigations over the years into exactly what Young said - and it was proved correct. Blacks WERE being ripped off by small grocery stores.

The last scam that I recall was that the grocers were messing with the scales. A person would order a pound of lunch meat and they'd get like 3/4 pound. And YES, the produce WAS stale as was the bread.

Young's ONLY mistake was being un p.c. and telling the truth. And yes, Jews were the 1st grocers to do this as typically a Jewish neighborhood (Chicago's West side and South Side) would be the 1st to 'turn black', but the grocers stayed. They then sold to Asians (typically Koreans), and now 'Arabs' own the stores (or vise versa in some areas).

Now this wasn't some organized conspiracy but it WAS a pattern. And yes Wal-Mart does sell food cheaper - duh! I'm sorry the Koreans had their feelings hurt but too bucking fad - it happened and STILL happens in Black neighborhoods.

(Hades must have frozen over, I'm sticking up for Andy Young.)

I suspect money is not the goal here. I would rather expect that it is to embarass Young and make him lose face. To humiliate him. And I agree with that goal.

Problem is with liberal racist like Young, he has no shame and so cannot be embarassed by his racist remarks. Which, BTW, were NOT casual or unintended. He believed and meant every word.

And if you look back at his record, he's essentially pro-arab, also. Which in light of the WOT makes him an anti-American, anti-semite in the real world. Not to cut it too fine, but this is a REAL war. As real as if we had panzers rolling across Europe today.

"But you see, those are the people who have been overcharging us, selling us stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables," Young said. "And they sold out and moved to Florida. I think they've ripped off our communities enough. First it was Jews, then it was Koreans and now it's Arabs; very few black people own these stores."

I've been to small mom and pop stores in poor neighborhoods and this is indeed true. However the race of the store owner has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
